    Cheapest route is a Granada swap . You will have to use a 70 Mustang outer tie rod end to fit the Granada spindle . The aftermarket has swaps made up but quite pricey.

    75 to 80 Granada are ideal for front disc brake set-ups for the swap over. You will need the spindles, disc's, calipers, and dust shields. You'll need to replace the original Mustang outer tie-rods with ones from a Granada of the same year. Your going to also need a dual chamber master cylinder and either a proportioing valve or combo valve and of course a few new brake lines.

    Below are some websites that should tell you everything you want to know, plus the bottom sites have ready to install kits for sale, but are pricey.
